Hello from England :)

Just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself as I've just joined this second. I'm in England and my wife and I are about to embark on our maiden year of beekeeping. We have a new hive (British National) and a nuc arriving hopefully at the end of next month (weather permitting), and we're both very excited about it I've been reading up on beekeeping for several months and have managed to make friends with a very experience keeper in another part of the country, so all I'm waiting for now is the arrival of the ladies

Welcome, and thanks for coming. I know we have at least one other from the UK. Bcrazy has some great microscopy photos and descriptions under bee biology. Hope you enjoy the bees and the forum. We will be here for any questions you have, and will anticipate reports of your progress and regresses.
